Connecticut Democrat Rep. Rosa DeLauro is sounding the alarm for her fellow Dems about the census. She is in a panic about illegal immigrants not being counted.
She claims that this is an effort by the Trump administration to ‘punish’ blue states with high populations of illegals.
This gives away the game Democrats have been playing.
It’s all about how many seats are allotted in Congress for representation. That’s why Democrats want illegals counted.
From RedState:
Top Connecticut Democrats accused President Trump on Friday of trying to rig the 2030 census.
Gov. Ned Lamont, Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz and Rep. Rosa DeLauro (CT-3) appeared with advocacy groups to warn that the administration’s new counting rules would leave roughly 250,000 state residents out of the tally used to divvy up U.S. House seats and federal funding.
“The 250,000 estimate appears to reflect the state’s non-citizen population that would fall outside the new apportionment base,” the Connecticut Centinal writes.
Huh. What a coincidence.
DeLauro, in particular, did not hold back, practically setting her peacock-purple plumage on fire. And in an irony to end all ironies, she called the census rules “illegal.”
Why? Because it includes the ol’ dreaded “citizenship question.” That’s right, in Gargamel’s world here, it’s illegal not to count illegals for a legal census.
“This is an effort by the Trump Administration to punish blue states and states with higher immigrant populations,” she said. “New York, California, New Jersey, yes, and Connecticut. Connecticut ranks 11th out of all 50 states for immigrant population.”
